Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252: Homecoming (Chapters Combined) _2

“This is quite possible indeed, the girls around him change every three days for a minor update and every five days for a major one, wherever he goes, he’s surrounded by beauties.”

“Wow, if I get to see the national husband, that’ll be something exciting indeed.”

The rest of the people waiting for arrivals didn’t focus on whether the person they were waiting for showed up, but wanted to see who this entourage of beauties was greeting.

Even those who picked up their people weren’t in a hurry to leave; they wanted to see what the outcome would be.

They waited for over an hour, and Song Xiaodong’s flight finally landed.

As Song Xiaodong emerged, each of the beauties had an excited smile on their faces.

The observers noticed the change in the expressions of the beauties and knew the person they were waiting for had arrived, but the person who walked out wasn’t particularly eye-catching.

Finally, a man walked up to those beauties, and the women immediately surrounded him. The bodyguards expertly blocked nearby people with their phones, preventing them from taking pictures of the man’s face inside.

“Wow, who is this guy with such a big lineup? Do we really have someone that impressive in Ningjian?”

Chapter 1253: Background

Song Xiaodong and his family sat in a minibus, followed by several black Mercedes cars.

Song Xiaodong said with a wry smile, “Is this kind of lineup necessary? People might think some major leader has arrived.”

Song Xiaoru said, “Everyone is worried about your safety. You’re the pillar of our family. If something happens to you, what will we do?”

Miao Qingqing also said with reddened eyes, “Yeah, you can’t disregard your safety like this. You’re not alone now; you have us, and you absolutely can’t go about displaying individual heroism anymore.”

Miao Qingqing rarely expressed her true feelings and was usually tough, hardly ever cried, but this time, she couldn’t help it.

Looking at the women around him, Song Xiaodong felt a bit moved, saying, “I’m really sorry for making you worry so much. But rest assured, in China, we’re definitely safe. They don’t dare mess around in our country now. You have to believe in the strength of our country.”

Xiao Yingying, typically carefree, immediately raised her chin and said, “I told you, Dongzi won’t be in trouble. Humph, no matter who it is, they’re all trash in front of Dongzi.”

Song Xiaoru sternly said to Xiao Yingying, “Yingying, you can’t be blindly confident. Dragon Nine already said that woman is too powerful, and Dongzi is no match for her.”

Xiao Yingying stuck out her tongue and said, “So darling, what really happened? Did you kill that demoness, or did you make her submit to you?”

Everyone was initially tense, but Xiao Yingying’s words made each of them burst into laughter uncontrollably.

Song Xiaodong also laughed, “Yingying, you’re not wrong. I almost subdued her, but in the end, I didn’t make a move.”

“Really?” Xiao Yingying’s eyes lit up immediately, “Quick, tell us what happened.”

In the car, Song Xiaodong recounted the detailed process. Initially, everyone listened with apprehension, but upon hearing that Song Xiaodong finally subdued Qingluan, they were relieved.

Even knowing Song Xiaodong was perfectly fine in front of them, imagining how precariously he had to escape, they couldn’t help but empathize.

And when Song Xiaodong talked about how he dealt with Qingluan, everyone was amused and looked odd.

“Wow, you actually let her go! A woman like that deserved to be done first!” Xiao Yingying complained immediately.

Miao Xuanxuan also said angrily, “She should have been handled, and then killed.”

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened. Are the women in his family so violent? But thinking about it, he could understand; Qingluan wanted to kill him, and naturally, their hatred for Qingluan was intense, even more than his.

“I’m a man; I couldn’t bring myself to do that. But you don’t need to worry, I’ve placed a restriction on her, causing her dantian to ache greatly every night; the pain is unbearable, so it’s enough of a punishment for her.”

Miao Xuanxuan said angrily, “That’s too light. You should have crippled her Kung Fu; only then would it be resolved once and for all.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled, “Alright, I admit, I was indeed too soft-hearted back then.”

Returning to the Su Family, Song Xiaodong received a call from Lu Lang.

Song Xiaodong answered the call, saying, “Old Chief, this call is really timely, isn’t it?”

“Haha… you’re now a major concern for us. When you go abroad, you’re under such close watch. How could we not know?” Lu Lang said, teasingly but seriously.

Song Xiaodong didn’t find anything wrong with it. Considering his position and responsibilities, it was quite normal for the authorities to keep a check on him.

Song Xiaodong laughed, “Old Chief, is there any good news for me this time?”

Lu Lang chuckled, “I’m here to congratulate the Dragon Gate Young Master on his return!”

“What?” Song Xiaodong exclaimed involuntarily, shaking his head and then smiling wryly, “Old Chief, when did you know about me being the Dragon Gate Young Master?”

Lu Lang replied, “Let’s not talk about that now. Come to Beijing, there are some things we need to discuss thoroughly.”

“Alright!” Song Xiaodong agreed, and they hung up the phone.

Song Xiaodong took a deep breath, knowing Lu Lang was aware of his identity as the Dragon Gate Young Master, which significantly impacted him due to its implications.

This meant that the authorities knew about Dragon Gate, and their stance towards Dragon Gate was crucial too. Having hidden this fact, whether this affected their trust in him was a critical concern.

Even though the Su Family was powerful now, Song Xiaodong never intended to oppose the nation. Being a soldier, guarding the country was ingrained in him.

Thinking about it, he didn’t bother to speak with the women in his family, directly going to the rear courtyard where the Family Guard resided.

Dragon Nine was lying on the bed; upon seeing Song Xiaodong return, he immediately tried to get up. But Song Xiaodong swiftly stepped forward and pressed him back down.

“Young Master! Dragon Nine is at fault! Not protecting Young Master well!” Dragon Nine said, embarrassed.

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, “It’s not your fault; Qingluan was too powerful for me to handle, let alone you. I just came to tell you something.”

“Is Young Master going to talk about the Great Perfection matter?” Dragon Nine asked immediately.

“That’s not urgent; I want to say… I just received a call from above, and they directly mentioned my identity as Dragon Gate Young Master. What existence was Dragon Gate in China before?”

Dragon Nine wasn’t nervous, instead showing a look of nostalgic longing, saying, “Dragon Gate was established based on global Chinese people. The key figures within the sect were all Chinese, and even though our headquarters wasn’t in China at the time, we Dragon Gate people had high regard for China.”

“The Chinese authorities valued us highly, but our actions were different from the government. Some matters that weren’t convenient for the government, they would also rely on us, Dragon Gate, to accomplish.”

Song Xiaodong relaxed, “So that means there’s no conflict between Dragon Gate and our country.”

“How could there be a conflict? In fact, the biggest reason for Dragon Gate’s trouble was foreign forces suppressing China, seeing Dragon Gate help too much with China’s affairs. And the Dark Night Sect is the major sect among all opposing forces.”

“This involves such significant background,” Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but exclaim a sigh.
